Hi Everyone,

I am from India, and my husband and I are moving to Abu Dhabi this year.
He will be moving in July and I will join him a month or two later.

We are making a short trip to UAE this sunday to check out some places to stay at.

Can any of you please be kind enough to help me out and give me some suggestions about the areas we should consider staying at?

We are both Aircraft Engineers, and will be working at the International Airport. So want to look for an apartment close to the airport.

Also what things do I need to know and check out before landing up there? What documents I should have, should carry at all times, etc.. ? I am sorry if I sound too clueless, this is the first time I am moving to another country.

Thanks in advance..

Hi Do you have a set budget as that will really help narrow down your best options! There is no charge to have a real estate agent show you around a few places I am in this line of work and can certainly have a chat with you to see if i can help? Kind Regards :)

Hi, For your apartment it depends a lot on what your budget is and what you like, but I would personally have a look at the new Al Raha Beach developments (Al Muneera, Al Zeina, Al Bandar). You can find an idea of prices and sizes online, at sites like propertyfinder.ae . For documents on this trip, I would bring your marriage certificate just in case it's requested, and carry your passport as ID. Then ask your new job to confirm what documents they require and if you need to have anything attested in India before you leave (sometimes degree certificates need to be attested, for example). Once you are living here and have your residence visa, you will get an Emirates ID card which you can carry with you. Only other thing to carry at all times are sunglasses and water because it's hot right now, especially if you're trekking around looking at apartments!
